Sorry, no, it’s not a Wicked post – although the musical was
fun, as was the book. I still have to read Son of a Witch, but that’s not what
the post is about, lol.
This is about me dancing to my favorite songs to lose my
last 20 lbs. If you’ve seen my previous post with the pictures of myself, hat
was me about five pounds ago, and I know someone is going to say “Grrrl, you
skinny ‘nuff, stop wit’ all dat madness”...Probably not like that, but you get
my drift. I’ve gotten it a lot, from doctors, friends, family, my bf – No, I
don’t have an ED, or disordered eating, and this is definitely not to bash
anyone who does.
I just truly believe that if someone isn’t completely
comfortable with something about themselves, they should be able to change it
without any form of backlash, or whatever. Also, I could go into backstory,
which I might if there are questions about what that might be, but to be blunt,
I used to weigh less and I was more comfortable at that lower weight, so I’m
adjusting my lifestyle to get back there. I’m doing this for no one other than
myself.
Now, back to dancing. I may or may not have mentioned that
I’m a fan of the k-pop (among other forms), and I especially love that k-pop
has nicely choreographed dances (and even dance versions of their videos). I
have picked some that I like – and even a couple that I’m none-too familiar
with and I’m dancing to those. I was doing that before I got distracted with
blogging and laundry. I’ll go back to it after this. Promise, I still haven’t
danced to Breathe, Oh My God, and Twinkle Twinkle, yet.
I had Doctor Feel Good memorized at one point, but I have to
watch it more and do it again. My favorite method of getting a really good work
out is once I learn dances well enough in bare feet, flat shoes, or my tennies,
doing them in heels, and increasing the height whenever I’m no longer getting
the same result. I know I can only get heels so high right now. My highest seem
to be 5.5 inches, maybe six, I’m not entirely sure, as my ruler has
disappeared.
Anyhousenwhosen, I was working up quite a sweat just doing
the few dances I did before this. It was Gee, 2hot, and goodbye baby. I love
working up a sweat, but it always feels dirty…and I don’t like dirty…I guess
I’ve got a love/hate relationship with the stuff.
(you can probably guess, this is Miss A's Breathe...well, a pic of it, lol.)
About the lifestyle change, though. It’s been interesting
since I left the dorm with no kitchen – the place that shall not be named…
Anywho, I’m attempting paleo, and easing my way into it. I really like it so
far – lots of meat, fruits and veggies – all of which I happen to like. Little
to no bread, which I really only like in two cases a) it’s pumpernickel (or
rye, as it’s frequently called, but pumpernickel is so much more fun to say.)
or b) my stomach needs settling and that’s all that’s on hand. I don’t like
many bread products because after eating it, I feel bloated and gross. Meat,
fruit, and veggies don’t do that to me.
But paleo also means cutting out sweets. I’m simply cutting
down. Until I can confidently eliminate them. As with bread, sometimes pop
settles my tummy (I work outside on the weekends and we only carry pop, so
there’s no carbonated water without all the junk in it.)
Also, I’ve always been a walker, but living in the apartment
has required that I walk even more, and more is always better – at least, when
walking is involved. We also happen to live in a hilly area, so I get to go up
and down inclines a lot. But I guess that kind of concludes the lifestyle
change. My bf makes sure I’m always hydrated, we drink water together, he brings
me water when he’s drinking other things (mostly because I ask not to have the
other things), but sometimes treating oneself is fine. Just don’t go overboard.
And be honest when you do.
I went an extra mile and also re-danced too hot. I got it
better this time.
Just some more tiddlybits. Until next post. ^_^
